The Sixth (Prague) All-Russia Conference of the R.S.D.L.P.

JANUARY 5–17 (18–30), 1912

THE RUSSIAN GOVERNMENTS ATTACK ON PERSIA

TheRussian Social-Democratic Labour Party protests against the
rapacious policy of the tsarist gang which is bent on suppressing the
freedom of the Persian people and, in pursuing this policy, does not shrink
from carrying out the most barbarous and infamous acts.

TheConference places on record that the alliance between the Russian
and British governments which the Russian liberals are widely advertising
and supporting in every way, is directed primarily against the
revolutionary movement of the democratic forces in Asia, and that, by
virtue of this alliance, the Liberal government of Britain is a party to
the bloody atrocities perpetrated by the tsarist government.

TheConference expresses its unqualified sympathy for the struggle
waged by the Persian people and, particularly, by the Persian
Social-Democratic Party, which has lost so many of its members in the fight
against the tsarist butchers.
